Summary: Nature (Creation) is filled with countless design examples of integrated and irreducible complexity which showcase the obvious and logical deduction that there must be a Creator. Evolutionary explanations for the development of these designs (apart from an intelligent information source, or designer) are completely devoid of a rational logical scientific basis.
Speaker: Joe Sebeny, B.S., Physics, and in Aeronautical and Astronautical Engineering, M.S. Electrical Engineering, Ph.D., Systems Design.
Bio: Joe is an aerospace engineer with 35 years of experience in the defense industry and is currently employed by a major defense contractor in Tucson, AZ. He is currently a Principal Engineering Fellow within the Systems Design & Performance Directorate. Over the past 29+ years, Joe has had a number of design and leadership roles in various missile systems under development. He has worked primarily on the STANDARD MISSILE and Patriot missile systems, and was also key in developing the US Navy’s Naval Integrated Fire Control Architecture.

Summary: The presence of tissue and biomolecules in dinosaur fossils presents a significant challenge to the assigned date of these fossils. Can tissue (aggregates of interconnected cells) retain its natural, flexible characteristics in so-called ancient fossils? Can cells within this tissue retain their structural integrity and morphology? Can biomolecules (such as protein and polysaccharides) actually survive 70+ million years inside a fossilized and buried bone? What natural process would enable this preservation? The answer to these questions directly challenges the current, evolutionary biased, geologic time scale. In turn, this tissue also challenges accepted ideas of evolutionary change. Work by the Creation Research Society continues to contest preservation models that have been proposed by the evolution establishment.
